Nov 15 Casting With Ceri Jones : Episode 200: My Story

This week's podcast episode is a special one for me. I never thought when I started back in 2020 during lockdown I would one day be celebrating 200 episodes.

I have had an amazing time and also made some great friends along the way. A big thanks to all my guests, listeners and especially to the patrons of my channel.

I decided I would do something a bit different, and over the years I have been asked numerous times to give my story. So this episode I am the other side of the desk and my turn to be asked the questions. I am joined by David Guest who was a colleague at the Flyfishing Journal.

Enjoy!
